Christmas Eve greetings friends! At last? I finally snapped a few photos of my living room, and the theme this year" Extra calm, light and bright. I didn?t deck all the halls as I have in years past because I wanted to keep it oh-so-simple. This year with socializing minimized, the only people I?m decorating for are the ones I live with so there was no need for excess.
I?m patting myself on the back that I didn?t buy anything new other than a sweet pair of wood reindeer, you?ll spy them on the mantel. When I brought out the bins I realized I have so many pretty things I?ve collected, there wasn?t any need to shop for more. I left my green plants in place and they became part of the scene. The greenery gathered on the mantel is simple clippings from my boxwood hedges paired with a preserved boxwood wreath. Below are a few merry and bright vignettes from the space where we open gifts together, and where I?m teaching myself to play simple songs on the piano (thanks to YouTube).
